(*) This part of the tour includes besides escalators, 80 steps to go up and 167 steps to get down divided over different levels.

***

The Children’s sphere is only accessible for schools on reservation only or during prescheduled workshops.

The other spheres are technical areas, or exclusively reserved for hire and therefore not open to the general public.

The panorama restaurant (level 8) is – strictly speaking – not part of the visit but it is freely accessible from level 7 if you want to eat or drink something.

Apart from the upper sphere, which is accessible by the lift, the rest of the Atomium is not easy for people with restricted mobility, and unfortunately it is not suitable for wheelchairs.

Therefor the entrance to the Atomium is free for people with a handicap.

Anyone who needs assistance (people in wheelchairs etc.) must be accompanied. Anyone accompanying somebody in a wheelchair must pay for his/her ticket (teacher fee). Entrance is free for anybody with a disability permit.

Due to steep and narrow escalators and many stairs, the visit with a baby carriage in the Atomium is not possible and therefore not allowed.
